This group of people came again like vicious wolves, leaving the house in a complete mess when they left.
Tao Susu seemed to have lost all her spirit, standing there blankly. Shen Ting, holding back tears, grabbed Tao Susu's hand, but still couldn't help crying.
"Mom, why is this happening?"
Why is it his family who suffers? Why was his father arrested? Why don't these robbers just die?
Tao Susu's tears flowed down her cheeks immediately.
Yeah, why?
She didn't know either.
...
Although two major events occurred in Shanding Brigade, there was still plenty of work to be done. The dried wheat was bagged and transported away, rice seedlings were prepared for transplanting, and villagers were organized to plow and fertilize the land. There was still a lot of work to be done.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli, as victims and witnesses to the illicit sexual relationship, were summoned to the town.
The brigade leader also granted them leave, allowing them to stay in town for a while longer, and he helped them with the task of delivering lunch to the elderly in the cowshed at noon.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli didn't say anything. They took the money, along with Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang, and the four of them rode bicycles to Zhongmo Town.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao had been to the town once, but they didn't remember anything except one place—the state-run restaurant!
Zhou Yang sat in the small seat in front, looked up and said, "Dad! Let's go to the state-run restaurant!"
Zhou Miao said in her childish voice, "The state-run restaurant has braised pork and big steamed buns! The braised pork is delicious, and the steamed buns are delicious!"
Zhou Mingli pedaled hard on his bicycle: "...Is my cooking not good?"
This morning, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, who had devoured a bowl of shrimp and scrambled eggs all by themselves like little pigs, immediately scrunched up their faces, their expressions conflicted.
Of course their dad is a great cook! The food he makes is the best they've ever had before!
But the food at state-run restaurants is delicious too.
Zhou Miao's brain was about to explode, and she stared longingly at Jiang Ci.
Mom! Help!
The little one has been eating well lately, and her face has gotten fuller, making her look prettier. Jiang Ci pinched her soft little face and said, "The braised pork from last time was brought back for you. It was all cold, and reheating it didn't taste as good as when it was freshly made."
Jiang Ci patted Zhou Mingli on the back, "I let you be lazy, and you're still not happy that I don't have to cook lunch?"
Zhou Mingli smiled and said, "I'm happy to. We brought enough money to go to town this time, so we'll eat at the state-run restaurant today."
Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang: "Yay!"
The two children were overjoyed and were incredibly excited on the way home.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli took turns riding their bikes. Perhaps they had gained strength from working recently, because it took them much less time to get to town this time than the first time they came to Zhongmo Town.
They first went to the police station to give statements. The militiaman who patrolled with Zhou Mingli also went with them today. The two witnesses said the same thing, which basically confirmed that Widow Wang and Zhao Wei were indeed having an affair.
As for why Widow Wang initially claimed that Zhou Mingli had assaulted her, and later said that Zhao Wei had assaulted her, we'll only know the truth after Widow Wang wakes up.
Jiang Ci was called away by the police for further questioning. After a series of interrogations, it was already around 10 a.m.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli went shopping together.
They still have grain at home, and their paychecks will be issued soon, so there's no need to buy more. Today, they're mainly here to buy the things they broke last night.
They were very lucky to have bought some lime!
Now we can coat the inside of the house and take away all the bloodstains and filth!
Jiang Ci's mood visibly improved.
After buying everything, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli stared at the clock, unable to stop.
If it's a watch, it is indeed expensive, but clocks come in various prices, it all depends on your choice.
But this thing requires tickets, and they don't have any.
Their understanding of time is somewhat vague now. If they had a clock, it would be different. At least they would know what time it is and what they should do, so they wouldn't be flustered and unsure of the time.
I really want to own a clock.
The couple reluctantly left the supply and marketing cooperative, secretly thinking about how to get a ration coupon for a clock, and took Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, who had been looking forward to it, to a state-run restaurant for a meal.
At the entrance of the state-run restaurant, Jiang Ci spotted a little girl.
He stood thin and frail in front of the state-run restaurant, looking like he wanted to go in but didn't dare.
That was Zhou Huai.
